I have 5 x 1hp Daikin inverter aircon at home, 2 for living room and 3 for each bedroom, bought it 3 years ago. Our usage is 1 x 1hp 24 hours a day, rarely swtich on more than one aircon unless there's guest.

Me and my wife work from home, always a single aircon running 24/7. My monthly electricity bill is averagely RM230.00.

I've been doing DIY cleaning for 5 of my Daikin units, it's pretty easy and cost saving unless I need a gas top up then only I call in repairman.

Below are some videos to guide you along. Just make sure you know what you are doing to avoid damaging any parts. The second video shows you how to vacuum the inner fan blade, remove the fins that is obstructing so you vacuum can go all the way in.

I will also get this filter because the holes for Daikin mesh is quite big thus a lot of dust/dirt can pass through.

I would not change the filters on the any aircon. There is a reason why the holes are big and that is to let good airflow. Replacing one that has closer knitted holes just make your filter act like a very dirty standard filter

btw I already posted pictures how to clean the blower fan here - https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=67323305

The filter on other brands such as LG was very fine and they did a good job in preventing dust from passing through. Daikin's filter seems a bit flimsy, I still get the additional filter from Daiso for testing on one of my unit then give a review here.

Thanks for sharing once again. smile.gif
